AJ can care for
Availability
I’m self-employed and structure my schedule around providing consistent, dependable pet care. Because I manage my own time, I’m able to prioritize visits, maintain routines, and be flexible when pets need extra attention. Pet care is a core part of my weekly routine, not something I squeeze in. I focus on reliability, clear communication, and making sure pets experience as little disruption as possible while their owners are away. My background in client-facing, responsibility-driven work strongly shapes how I approach pet care.

About AJ P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are most comfortable when they can stay in their own environment and follow their usual routine. My goal during drop-in visits is to mirror what they’re used to as closely as possible to reduce stress and anxiety. I take trust seriously when working inside clients’ homes. In addition to pet care, I’m happy to bring in mail or packages and tend to small household needs like watering plants if requested. I approach every visit with respect for both the pet and the home.
Information AJ P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything that helps me care for your pet the way you would — including feeding routines, medications, allergies, mobility considerations, or anxiety triggers. Details about personality, social comfort, and quirks are always helpful. Clear information allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive care and gives you peace of mind while you’re away.
A typical day
Each visit is tailored to the individual pet. I focus on a balance of physical activity and mental engagement, whether that’s a walk to explore familiar surroundings, playtime in the yard, or quieter interaction for pets who prefer a calmer pace. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort so I can adjust care as needed and make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat your home and pets like my own—this includes refreshing water, cleaning feeding areas, maintaining litter boxes, and keeping things tidy during each visit.

Worry free care when you're away
Pet care experience
I've worked with animals my entire life, from my own personal pets to working in pet boarding facilities, grooming salons, pet stores, vets office & volunteering with rescue groups with over 20 years professional pet care experience. I even ran my own pet sitting business for 5 years, which became highly demanding. Thanks to Rover, I'm looking forward to getting back into pet sitting part time as I love caring for all types of animals. I have experience with everything from dogs and cats to exotic animals and even farm animals. I have more than enough experience to care for your pets and home while you're away.
Reviews
Individualized care for each pet — learns their personalities and needs. I always return to a clean home and very happy kitties. Never have to worry about them while traveling.
Thank you AJ? You are seriously the best!
AJ is the best! He leaves thoughtful notes and takes great pictures. I can enjoy my vacation when I know he's taking care of my kitty!
AJ truly goes above and beyond in every possible way. He communicates before, during, and after the visit, and treats my puppy like his own. I can fully enjoy my time away knowing AJ has everything handled. We are beyond grateful.
